NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-There was a ripple
OF interest on the North river shore to day
when Bxatswain Sullivan of the Helvetia
OIL she lSitional line refused to take gang
OIL heG 70 the Erin to unload her cargo.
Inc nj were sent under other leader

eha'hs Tor mutiny. The steamer Guyan-
aotte OF the Old Dominion line sailed this
AFTERNOON Tor Norfolk from her pier at the
loot of Beach street. When off Long
Branch an explosion occurred in the af-
terpart of the saloon by which Captain
Kelly and James Justine were slightly
injured aud the vessel was sufficiently
damaged to make her put back to the
city. The explosion is believed to have
been from dynamite packed in satchcl

last bell was ringing previous to her de
parture, mess boy saw young man
come hurriedly from the closet hasten
ashore and disappear in the crowd. He
is believed to have brought the explosives
on board.

increase OF pay for themselves and other

OPPOSING EMIGRATION.
Novel Issue in Mississippi Negroes In
Demand


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2S.-The movement
in Mississippi against the emigration
agents has broken out ferceiy in Rankin
county. At meeting of citizens held at
Brandon the labor agents enticing color
ed men and their families from their
homes were warned to leave the county in
II hours and keep out Of it. The Rankin
farmers, who thought they were supplied
with labor for the year, find now at this
late day, when planting ought to be begun,
so many of their hands have slipped away
that they will be unable to plant
full crops. The emigration of negroes
from Kinds county to the swamps has al
most ceased as nearly all of those who
desired TO 90 have left, but the number
pouring into Vicksburg for settlement in
the azoo delta Is nearly as great as ever.
Ihey come, however, from the more dis
tant counties of Rankin, Newton and
kemper, and from Greene and other
counties in Western Alabama, at the rate
OF from 400 to GOO day. The emigration
or negroes from Greene county, Alabama.
is said to be the largest yet in any portion
or the South. Th9re is actual restitution
there among the negroes, who have made
pad crops and are in many instances upon
the verge of starvation. The merchants
are greatly pressed for means to pay their
debts, and have been compelled to crowd
their debtors, and many have lost every
thing by foreclosure. No emigration
agents are allowed in Kinds and White

FALSE ECONOMY.
Senator Allison with Figures Shows the
Fallacies in the Presidents Message

senator ALBION with Figures Shows the
Fallacies In the Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The sundry civil
bill was considered to-day in the Senate
Mr.. Allison spoke at considerable length
denouncing the action of the House in re.
ducing the appropriations which he con-
sldered false economy. He declared the
appropriations for the coast survey should
not be reduced as that service was of vast
Importance, This service would be so
crippled under the appropriations as pass
ed by the House that if they were to be
adhered to it would be better to abandon
the work altogether That Office had
always been carried on by men of the
highest scientific attanments until some
time since when $1,000 treasury clerk
was appointed and now was at its head AT
a salary OF $4,000.
Turning to the partisan questions in
volved he referred to the tabulation con
tanned IN the presidents last annual mes
sage showing a saving of 81 ,0OO, 900 in the
puollc expenditures in 1886 as compared
with 1885, He had anayized the figures
and had found for instance these results :
Or 1857, 600 saving in the legislative eX-
penses over 5000, 900 represented the differ
ence between the judgments of the court
of claims in 1885 and 1886 As to the saw
ing OF II 100000 in the state department,
s3O,UD of the amount was for judgments
OF the Alabama claims commission in
1873 (none in 1856 and 5000, 900 of il was
for the French claims. The difference of
nRures In the treasury department was
mace up OF number of items: among them
was an item OF nearly S3,OOO,OOO charged
TO the sinking fund of the Pacific railroad
IN 1000 as against $500, 900 in 1856 Another
was an item Tor the reimbursement of i'm
porters, $i,4l4,oOO less in 1886 than in 1885
IL
1896 amounts to only $500. 600 ~ comnarsd
with 81 100000 in 1888. AS to the rednc-
(fiOn of 5000, 900 in the war depsrt,nent
1890, 600 represented river and hsrhor
work in 1855 more than that in 1894 WAS
that fairly TO be charged to reDuhlicap
extravaganza The rest of the savinn
was made up of different items which diS
not depend at all on the current admins
tration of the war department, such as
refunding to the States and Territories
under the act of July %, 1882 AS to the
reduction of the expenditures in the navy
department Sl,200,000 represented What
was spent in the construction of yes
sells IN 1888 more than in 1856
IL was not true, therefore, that the pres
ent administration was any more econ.
omical than the former administration
and 1t was not true that the Senate had in
former years approprial ed more than was
necessary for the ordinary expenses of
the government.
In the course of a discussion on a point

thetically, the wish that the Senate Would

A CURIOUS TALE.
The Ice in n Maine Pond Rises and Falls
and Water is Thrown High in the Air.

ELLSWORTH, Me-, Jan. 81 Curious
phenomena are reported from Blue Hill
On Monday of last week as Reuben Gray
was crossing the third pond, which is
something more than mile long and a
mile wide, he heard loud rumblinp
which seemed 10 approach him from the
mine which is located near the southern
end of the pond and about mile and a
fourth from Mr.. Gray's position. Sudden
ly the ice under his feet rose three or four
feet and then subsidized, continuing to rise
in a sort of tidal wave which rolled rapid
ly along until it nearly reached the head
OF the pond, when suddenly there rose out
OF the water Il sheet Of water which fell
/ some distance from the opening. Mr..
3tiray examined this sheet and then re-
turned home and report d the facts to-
his neiehbors. f. +. Chase, who was
Blue HIS representative to the legisla
ture IN 1888, went and examined the pond
and found everythins just as Gray had
stated. Chase says that the ice blown out
OF the pond was triangular in shape, seven
feet long, fourteen inches thick and
would weigh, he thinks, ten tons. The
ice laid right side up with the base tow
ard the base OF the opening, the distance
between the two bases being 20 feet.
Though the water where the ice was
blown out was tour and half feet deep.
mud was found on the ice showing that
the disturbance took place at the bottom
OF the pond. Mr.. Chase examined the
track OF the disturbance and found the
ice cracked and broken its entire length.

IN the east and north, the hot summer has passed away and after very. few weeks of alter nately warm and cold tenn perature, interspersed with disagreeable winds, the frosts will begin their blight ing tasks ana the snow and ice will spread desolation everywhere. During all this period of inclemency there the people of southern Arizona will enjoy the most perfect and lovely weather the world produces, with perpetual sunshine and balmy days on which windows and doors are thrown open to admit the fresh air that brings no feeling of discomfort. The invalid can take his daily exercise in the open air any day during the winter months and his overcoat and wraps are not essential to his comfort. Such rare tract 0 s as this climate offers are met with nowhere else in the world and they are in themselves sufficient to induce the many thousands who seek mild winter resort to come to Arizona.

Horton'r murderer is no recompense for such { useful life extinguished, and there seeml to be no method of meting out 8 satis factory compensation of justice in mat ters of such unequal conditions.

The track between the latter place and Gila Bend IS to be taken up as it passes through an unproductive sec- tion. The new line will be tributary to more than one hundred miles of fine ag- ricultural land which will contribute to the traffic of the road large quantity oi agricultural products" There is one con, tingency as certain as fate that the Star has omitted. That IS, if such change is made the railroad will be built through Florence from Tempe, to some point or the Southern Pacific further east thar Maricopa junction.
